Lewisham College, one of the UK’s first Beacon colleges, caters for students aged 14 upwards as well as offering excellent employee training provision. The College makes it a priority to help individuals achieve their goals by providing excellent teaching, state-of-the-art resources and top-quality learning facilities, support and guidance. It encourages students to aim high, to stretch themselves and to make the most of the opportunities offered at the College. We received an 'Outstanding' grade from Ofsted in our most recent inspection, have again been awarded double Beacon status and also have two CoVEs (Centres of Vocational Excellence) in Hospitality and ICT.

What's on offer
Lewisham College offers a very wide range of subjects with particular strengths in vocational areas.

With around 300 vocational and academic courses, students can choose a programme that’s right for them in an environment that's fun and stimulating supported by some of the best facilities in London, including two Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs): Computing & IT and Hospitality & Catering. Both have strong links with employers and offer excellent career opportunities. The Hospitality & Catering CoVE offers students work placements in some of the city’s top kitchens. We have also recently introduced a new facility for flexible construction learning, enabling access to our construction suites for those who are employed and need to train outside of their normal working hours. Many of our courses lead to University study with over 300 students a year progressing to Higher Education.

Our three Learning Centres (Libraries and much more!) have all the resources you could need to help with your studies.There are also many opportunities to get involved in activities through the Student Union.

The Access Team organise a range of support for students with physical or sensory impairments.
